We're getting down to the nitty gritty. Some leagues
have already wrapped up their schedules, while others have a couple of games
left. Here's a breakdown of this week's Top 10 games as it relates to
NCAA Tournament
Bracketology and the Bubble:

As expected on a Saturday late in the season, there
are tons of games with NCAA Tournament implications. Here's a breakdown of the
day's action as it relates to
Bracketology and the Bubble. The 18 games below feature 20
Bubble teams, listed in
order from best to worst RPI:

While NCAA Tournament runs by
Butler and VCU prove that there is more parity than ever in college basketball,
the power conferences still rule. Here is a ranking of all 74 power conference
teams, including a comparison to how they ranked in the previous update 2 months
ago.

Although the conference table was mostly set
back in January when we last updated the Consensus Conference Ranking, there
have been some changes since. As you'll see below, the Mountain West dropped
from 4th to 6th since January 3rd, while the Colonial and Ivy have jumped 2
spots.

Tuesday's bubble teams went 3-6, including big wins
by Seton Hall, Kansas St, and Colorado St. With 58 games on tap, here's what
to watch for Wednesday as it relates to NCAA Tournament & NIT
Bracketology:

In this week's
Bracketology projection, Northwestern and Miami enter the field in place of
slumping Illinois and Minnesota. Arizona remains the last team out, while South
Florida is now firmly in the picture.
